Our 67NM trip from Point Judith to Branford, CT looked something like this.
We passed the time singing home-made songs and making each other laugh.
We called ahead into Safe Harbor Bruce Johnson Marina in Branford, CT and reserved a slip. We made it just in time before the dock crew went home for the night.

Remind me to tie that kayak on better 😉
We were greeted by a dockhand and spent some time chatting with the local boaters in the slip behind where we docked. We asked them to recommend a local restaurant within walking distance and it was clear that the crew of MV Simple Life were fans of Mexican.
The sun was just setting so we snapped a few quick photos before we set off to find Guacamoles restaurant.

Our walk to Guacamoles turned into an adventure and we stopped to checkout a few boats sitting on the hard. This large motorsailer was a cross between my last sailboat and my current trawler. A sexy beast she was.
The next boat caught my eye for a different reason. It was the same model as my first sailboat. A MacGregor 26X. I always had a dream to become a sailor exploring far away islands somewhere on the globe. I had to start somewhere and the MacGregor was a boat in my budget. I smile when I think back on that boat and the good times that were had aboard.
Seated at Guacamoles it was time for some table-side guacamole and Mariachi music.
Renee & I posed for a quick pick before retracing our steps back to the boat and calling it a night.
The next morning I stopped to checkout a Farr 50 that was without it’s mast. Nice looking cruising boat.
Next we fired up the diesel, put her in gear and pulled out of our slip. I snapped one last photo as we passed the fuel dock on our way out. Our next destination would be Port Washington on the other side of Long Island Sound.
